I have Calvin in one league and from what I've seen this year Stafford looks nothing like last year. Seems like on every passing play Stafford takes a quick look at Calvin then checks down, there seems to be no shots being taken deep downfield with any of the Lions WR's either. Anyone who drafted Stafford this year was expecting Calvin to pump his numbers up but that isn't happening.
Let me know how that works out for you
This is the kind of crap that pisses me off in the shark pool. Listen, in a thread talking about panicking on a guy, it is perfectly legitimate to talk about who you are considering playing over him in a given week. It gives people some information of where others are ranking him.Please stop with the snide comments. They don't add anything to the thread and make you look foolish.'Hendo said:
Exactly. That is a perfectly germane comment that affords insight into how stafford owners are viewing his current value. I'm actually really shocked in the lack of faith. Having just bought low as my qb2 I'm going to wait for a few good games before selling.
I'm thinking the same thing and I may try a few offers to get Stafford if possible. Anyone see any trades involving him go down this week?
Dynasty league: An owner in my league traded Ryan Mathews, Blackmon, and Flacco for Stafford and a third before the season. It was a lot, but that was the going rate for elite QBs- the Rogers, Newton, and Luck owners had already turned down similar offers. After 3 weeks, he'd already started panicking and traded Stafford and three 2014 firsts for Griffin, a 2013 first, and a 2014 2nd. The 2013 first was not of an appreciably higher caliber than the three 2014s he gave up (one of the 2014s belonged to the same team as the 2013), so it essentially boiled down to Stafford and two firsts for Griffin.
Wow. That is a serious knee-jerk reaction. Even if you prefer RB3, there is no way the difference should be 2 1st.
Strongly agreed, and I'm the guy who traded away Griffin. He asked what it would take, and I said "two firsts" thinking that would just end the conversation. I love Griffin, and was not looking to sell. I was floored when he actually did it. Guy has a history of quirky player valuations, but he's a quality owner who always fields a competitive team and has earned a reputation as a real skinflint of a trader always looking to wring out one last concession (hence the inclusion of the extraneous 2nd). He usually won't deal unless he walks away the clear "winner". He's no rookie or rube.
My thoughts exactly. I'm not seeing any obvious regression, he's still chucking it a ton, and the touchdowns will come around. Definitely too early to panic.For whatever reason if you watch Stafford, he is off in the first parts of games, an last year didn't look good (although the stats were there) early in the season.Last year early season/late game heroics, comebacks resulted from bad/not good play early on that left you scratching, then he got his #### together an played theway he is capable of, so yah it is disheartening now but it is not really different inthese first 3 games this year then it was all last year.(the play more then the stats)I have Stafford, and while the low points sucks and I wish they were better, I really don't see it much/any different play then last year so I'm just holding steady here.
Similar. As mentioned above I traded Ben for Stafford and Leshoure. Clearly some stafford owners are in fire sale mode. All Deteoir QBs must go!!!!
High or not, he's putting up catchable balls. If you get your hands on the ball, you should catch it. I'm talking full palm on the ball, both hands, and just not pulling it down. It's not like his receivers are stretching out and barely getting their fingertips on it. Even Megatron had some really brutal drops today.
Yup. I already bought low. The TDs are going to come. Obviously anyone who invested a high draft pick is kind of ####ed but he's a perfect guy to acquire and wait on and flip again when he turns it on for a few weeks.
